Default RE: Using a lift on a sofetail

What does it hurt by lifting it with the jack on the shocks?

Not absolutely sure if it hurts anything. Since the shocks are lower than the frame, I would guess the weight of the bike resting on the shocks could at least bend the outer can, possibly doing more than cosmetic damage. Is there an outside chance of bending the shock out of alignment as well? Let's hope not for the sake of some of the forum. If lifting on the shocks is a mistake, it would be an easy mistake to make. I'd be interested in seeing a mechanic's viewpoint.
